How to Suggest a New Product -- Please Read Before Posting
Im talking about the currently used Pierce Dashes not the '80's ones.
Let me suggest that all of you that are looking for something new out of Code 3 finally come to your senses and realize its not gonna happen! The only possisbility may be a repaint of some tired truck they have previously produced. But for you dreamers out there.... Good Luck!

Yep, Caught that right there in the 1st post....
I TOTALY AGREE WITH THIS POST, THESE WERE 2 OUT OF THE 4 I HAD THOUGHT OF. CODE 3 MUST DO FDNY RESCUE 6 ALSO.........RESCUE 6 IS IN SOHO!!!! I'D LOVE TO SEE MORE TILLERS FDNY, AND TOWER LADDERS FDNY!!!!! ASAP
THAT'S A NICE LOOKING ENGINE!!!! I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT FROM CODE 3, NICE PICTURE!(PICURE IS ON PAGE 4, FROM GLENVILE ILL, ENGINE 6. NICE LOOKING ENGINE!!!
I don't have first hand pictures / can not steal someone elses work, but if anyone does have pictures and can share them, Columbus OH's Sutphen / Pierce Engines look very similar to what Code 3 already has molds for and they have sold out the Columbus Sutphen Tower so the department has a good track record of sell outs. Another suggestion would be a Progress, PA Seagrave Engine / Tower to follow up the Mack CF with..
I agree P332 from Toronto would be a great piece to do.
TFS is one of the largest FD in North America as well as call volume.
I wonder what it would cost to support this. I would put the money up front to get this produced.
As long as I do not have to sell the house. :)
I have lots of buddies on this Dept. Our Dept is about 90 minutes from them but I visit often.
Pumper, pirsch fire trucks from the 1950's. Ladder, pirsch fire trucks from the 1950's. Rescue Squad, pirsch fire trucks from the 1950's. Tow, pirsch fire truck from the 1950's. The citys could be, Milwaukee, Chicago, Memphis. These fire trucks would be a change of pace from what most manufacturers have been producing over the last few years.[image] This category is provided as a venue for our collectors to enter suggestions for new Code 3 products.
